Débat sur le budget : 2e niche fiscale par son montant, le crédit d'impôt pour services à la personne pourrait être réduit.

Quels sont les effets de ce dispositif ?

C'est l'objet du dernier ouvrage de Nathalie Morel (@scpo-research.bsky.social), qui compare la France et la Suède.

I am delighted to see that this book is now out, with many great chapters - including « politics as ritual ». How do we analyze politics and how different lenses deepen and broaden our capacity to understand and explain what is going on in the world.

This process is analysed by Laurie Boussaguet and @ffaucher.bsky.social in their book 'Symbolic Policy'
@universitypress.cambridge.org @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social
Explanations: www.sciencespo.fr/centre-etude...

"All policies have a symbolic dimension". Interview with Laurie Boussaguet and Florence Faucher | Sciences Po Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics

Symbols are everywhere in politics. Yet, they tended to be overlooked in the study of public policy. What is their role in the policy process? Why and how study them?
